Yield: 4–6 flatbreads
🛒 Ingredients List
The Base/Protein: 3 large eggs
The Creamy Element: 1 cup cottage cheese (or smooth cream cheese)
The Structure (Zero-Carb): 3-4 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (or coconut flour alternative if desired, though psyllium keeps it true to the zero-carb/keto style)
The Seasonings: A pinch of salt, garlic powder, and Italian herbs (optional for extra flavor)
The Pan Fat: A touch of olive oil or butter for cooking
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend the Base:
In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese (or cream cheese), and psyllium husk powder. Blend on high until completely smooth and a creamy batter forms with no lumps. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes so the mixture thickens slightly.
2. Heat the Skillet:
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil or butter.
3. Pour and Spread:
Pour a portion of the batter into the center of the hot skillet (about 1/3 cup per flatbread). Gently swirl or spread it out into a round, even circle.
4. Pan-Fry to Perfection:
Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the edges look set and golden brown spots appear on the underside. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
5. Repeat and Stack:
Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking them as you go to keep them warm and soft.
✨ Chef’s Tips & Tricks
Keep Them Pliable: As soon as they come off the pan, stack them under a clean kitchen towel; this traps the gentle steam and keeps them super soft and bendable for rolling or folding!
Flavor Twists: Add garlic powder, onion powder, or a handful of grated parmesan directly into the batter for a savory kick.
